The Hebrew Academy offers a challenging, integrated dual curriculum in general and Judaic studies that prepares youngsters for academic success in high school and beyond, while at the same time enabling them to become knowledgeable, responsible, and committed members of the Jewish community. With an incredible 6-to-1 student to staff ratio, our experienced teachers are able to offer each youngster individualized attention in a nurturing environment. Founded in 1967, the Hebrew Academy recently celebrated its Double Chai (36-year) anniversary. Our interdisciplinary general studies curriculum consists of superior programs in language arts, math, science, social studies, physical education, health, music and art. We have a state of the art computer lab and computers in every classroom. Our middle school students are kept "up to speed" with our wireless laptop lab. Our Judaic studies curriculum offers a solid foundation in the Hebrew language, sacred text study (Torah, Prophets/Tanach), culture, history, traditions and religious practices of the Jewish people. Our students feel a bond with Israel through our instruction on Israeli history, the celebration of Israeli holidays, and involvement in Israel community related projects, as well as weekly visits by Israeli students. These dual programs are supplemented by extra-curricular activities including after-school athletics, clubs, and community service. Extended school days (aftercare) are also available. As the only community day school in Northwestern New Jersey, our students hail from towns throughout Morris County, as well as neighboring Sussex and Warren counties. These lovely suburban communities have a country flair, and many are well situated for easy commuting to New York City and other metropolitan destinations via train, bus or car. The Hebrew Academy is located in Randolph, a young, vibrant suburban community of 25,000 ranked by Money Magazine in 2004 as "one of the most desirable places to live in America."
